With one final and comprehensive effort, democracy can complete its work and destroy this house of marked cards.

Yet until such an effort is made, this moribund communism, although it has no chance of being revitalized, will continue to spoil and destroy the lives of many people around the world for a long time to come.

Bump.

In case you missed this valuable discussion...

The Cold War is back and Russia will again be a dominant military super power. Russia after the Cold War was not as stupid as our leaders were. Our leaders didn't simply shutter defense factories and facilities rather they closed them down and sold them. One in fact a key U.S. Naval facility was turned over to China the DEMs and GOP preferred trading friend it seems.

Russia is not dead and an assumption that it is no longer a threat to the world is a dangerous one. Gog/Magog has it's place in our future. That can not be overlooked.

When the M.E. decides once and for all to try and take down Israel it will be with Russian produced weapons. China starting to be armed the same. How much space technology has Russia sold to China? We may have seen some idea of it just recently.

That was a great read. We don't pay enough attention to Russia and have to many fixed ideas that are leftovers from the Cold War.

Russia would like to return to defiantly thwarting and opposing America. At present they only do so by obstructionism at the U.N., arming China, and covert aid to terrorists while at the same time battling their own terrorists.

Russia's leaders would love to see Osama light a nuke in one of our cities.
